Christopher Berno

Your Partner in Complex Legal Matters

Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP is a nationally recognized law firm representing individuals and businesses of all sizes in complex legal matters. Our legal team is led by a former general counsel for an international telecommunications company, a leading national I.P. litigator with lead counsel experience, including substantial trial experience, in over 200 cases, and an accomplished trial lawyer with a proven record of success in multi-million dollar litigation. The remaining members of our team consist of skilled and dedicated attorneys with extensive experience in both sophisticated transactional matters and high-stakes litigation involving a broad range of issues and technologies. A number of our team members have technical degrees.

Our law practice is unique in that we develop very close relationships with our clients. We take the time to understand their goals and work together with them to formulate and implement the best strategies for protecting their legal and business interests. Part of this is attributable to our size. At 15 attorneys, our firm is large enough to handle the most complex and demanding legal matters, but small enough to do so with unmatched responsiveness and attention to detail.

HKW IN THE NEWS

Our success on behalf of clients has been recognized by numerous independent attorney rating services, which often rely heavily on the opinions of other lawyers who are involved in cases with and against our firm. These include Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell, Legal Elite, AVVO, and IAM’s Patent 1000: The World’s Leading Practitioners.
